42 | El Salvador: Damage, Loss, and Needs Assesment The approximate amount of damages and losses for the agricultural and livestock sector totals US$41.6 million, of which 90.3% correspond to losses and the remaining 9.7% to damages in the agricultural, livestock and fishery subsectors. Among all departments, the most affected were La Libertad, San Vicente and La Paz. TABLE 16.

B.1.2 Industry, Commerce and Service Sectors It is worthwhile to note that the assessment of the impact on the industrial, commercial and service sectors (including tourism) was conducted on the basis of a survey carried out in the 14 most seriously affected municipalities, whose human development indexes are lower than the national average. Thus, the relatively low amounts of damages and losses in the industrial, commercial and service sectors, far from showing a contained impact, are evidence of the low income levels of the most affected communities. In the economy as a whole, the disaster’s impact on industrial, commercial and service activities was quite limited. In general terms, neither the assets nor the flows of large- and medium-sized companies were affected by the floods and lahars. As detailed later in this document, the greatest impact was experienced by micro-businesses, which are also those with the least access to mechanisms that would allow them to deal with the damages and losses that they endured. As mentioned, the assessment of the disaster’s impact on the industrial and commercial sectors was conducted based on the survey carried out for this purpose in the 14 most seriously affected municipalities (see Box 2).
II. POPULATION AND AFFECTED AREAS | 43 Of all companies surveyed, 26% report that they were affected by the disaster. Most of the affected companies (76%) resumed their activities within one week, and another 20% within two weeks. As shown in Table 17, the sectors in which more facilities were affected were the service and small commercial sectors, which together account for 80% of all businesses affected. By department, the largest number of businesses affected was in San Vicente (38%) and San Salvador (26%). Finally, in terms of size, one can observe that nearly 80% of the businesses affected are micro-businesses. BOX 2. SURVEY OF DAMAGES AND LOSSES IN THE COMMERCIAL, INDUSTRIAL AND SERVICE SECTORS Taking advantage of the timeliness of the information, it was decided to conduct the survey of damages and losses in the 14 municipalities that Civil Protection evaluated as having experienced serious impact. The 14 municipalities are San Bartolomé Perulapia and San Pedro Perulapan in the Department of Cuscatlán, San Luis La Herradura, San Pedro Masahuat, Santa María Ostuma and Santiago Nonualco in the Department of La Paz, Ilopango, San Martín and Santiago Texacuangos in the Department of San Salvador, Guadalupe, San Vicente, Tepetitán and Verapaz in the Department of San Vicente, and La Libertad in the Department of the same name. The 14 municipalities surveyed represent 18.6% of the population, 10.9% of personnel employed, and 13.8% of the economic establishments of the 66 municipalities affected by the disaster. The sampling framework was defined based on the directory of facilities used for the economic census conducted in 2005. As shown in the table, the large majority of facilities in these municipalities are micro-businesses with fewer than five employees. Taking the above into account, it was decided to conduct a stratified sampling of the approximately 12,000 businesses with fewer than five employees and to take a census of the rest. By type of activity, businesses were classified in five sectors: agroindustry, industry, large-scale commerce, small-scale commerce, and services.
